Consulting
Cristine Dahl is available for consulting with organizations and professional groups such as training schools, shelters/rescues, animal control, law enforcement, therapy/support situations, and veterinary practices.
Using the Satellite™ framework, consulting begins with a structured evaluation of the dog, the people responsible for the dog, and the surrounding environment. This process reveals the underlying dynamics influencing the dog’s responses and allows for targeted, practical intervention.
Cristine consults in a wide range of settings, including private households, shelters, daycare environments, training programs, and other professional canine settings. She works locally and internationally and welcomes opportunities to travel.
Private Behavior Consulting
Cristine works directly with households and individual cases through an intensive consulting model designed for complex or persistent behavior issues.
Engagements typically begin with in-depth observation and assessment of the dog, the environment, and the human participants involved in the dog’s care. From there, the Satellite framework is used to establish a stable relationship structure and address the factors contributing to the behavior.
This work is particularly helpful in cases involving reactivity, aggression, fear, resource conflict, and other challenging behavioral patterns.
Cristine may work remotely for some portions of a case, and is available for travel domestically and internationally.
Professional Seminars & Hosted Programs
Cristine Dahl’s primary professional offering is multi-day seminars and hosted programs introducing the Satellite™ framework to trainers, canine professionals, and organizations working with dogs.
These programs combine conceptual instruction with practical application, allowing participants to understand the framework while actively learning how to use it. Presentations explore the relational dynamics, environmental structures, and communication patterns that shape canine behavior, while guided case analysis, real-world examples, and interactive workshops demonstrate how the framework is applied in practice.
Participants work through real behavioral scenarios, developing the ability to identify underlying dynamics and apply the Satellite™ toolkit to complex cases.
Cristine first introduced the Satellite™ framework publicly during a multi-day professional seminar in New Zealand in 2018.
Programs may be designed for professional audiences or adapted for educational events hosted by training studios, breed organizations, or canine organizations serving the broader dog-owning community.
Organizations interested in hosting a Satellite™ seminar or professional program are encouraged to inquire. Cristine is available for domestic and international travel.
